DICK TRACY FINALLY BACK ON THE CASE
Posted: 042919

IDW Takes a Second Bite at Chester Gould's Classic Cop

A new Dick Tracy comic series was announced last year then cancelled at the last minute but the world famous cop is now back on the racks with the limited series Dick Tracy Forever! The four-issue limited series is from Powers’ Michael Avon Oeming and his collaborator/wife Taki Soma from IDW. The series will show his beginnings on the force. Oeming and Brian Michael Bendis almost got a chance to do a Tracy series in the mid 1990’s but Warren Beatty still owned the film rights so the comic never happened. Their plan was to update and make the character timely. In this new series the stories will have a new timeline with each issue so Tracy will be updated to fit the time the story takes place in. #1 takes place in 1931, #2 in 1951, #3 in modern time and #4 will take place in 2031. The series will use the villains the Brow, Prune Face and Flat Top but introduce a few new villains and include some very obscure Tracy characters as well.
